I doubt it's Android. Besides the complexities of supporting different hardware devices (ok say they decide to ignore that and just focus on high end).

You still have the problem that it's Android, everything goes through a bytecode interpreter to be compatible. Unless you don't use the davlink java method (and indeed you can just use C++). But then can you bring it to another Android device still?

But Android would have the numbers.

Point is that even if 3GS is a joke of a smartphone and internet device, the small resolution has the advantage of lifting very much of the burden laid on the GPU.

Yup that's another issue. The iPhone 3GS has a better GPU than most of the other devices out there and it's running at a lower resolution meaning the GPU can do more since it's not using as much strength to pull an 800 x 480 resolution.

Maybe the solution is changable resolutions. =P. Apps can change resolution on the fly lol.

The N900 has the potential to run it like nothing. IS THE MATTER OF NOKIA IF THEY ARE WILLING TO PAY FOR PUBLISHERS! I've played Open Arena on the N900 and Quake 3 on the iPhone 3GS and TBH i think the N900 is slightly better than the iPhone 3GS resolution wise. I understand they're not the same game but still. Only bad thing about Open Arena is that the movement is TOO sensitive and it needs to be a bit more polished compare to the iPhone Quake 3. Another problem is that the game does not run as a full game to keep the power saving out of the way. The game looks awesome on the N900 even though is NOT FINAL yet. Only problem is that will NOKIA ever work with EA, Gameloft, and other companies for these awesome 3D games. I'm really impress with the iPhone game Nova. That game will easily run on the N900 like nothing. It has great graphics!

Don't listen to Epic. They also said, that there will be a Linux client for UT3 on the retail CD. Then they said, it will be released shortly after. After 1,5 years after the release Ryan (Icculus) said, "they still need time". Afaik, there is still no client.

Don't listen to Epic. Ever.

Ihope nokia will work with games developers.
I would also pay for good games.
The N900 could play so great games but the only one with very good 3d graphics is bounce. And bounce is very boring it's just beautiful to see the graphic.
Open arena is nice but too sensitive.

Can't stop me from dreaming, can you:D

Re: Unreal 3 Engine on the iPhone 3GS - one other platform yet to be announced............ can we dare hope?

Oh ya!
A rpg with graphics from bounce would be so great!!

With open world and online.
I can not stop dreaming about it too :D
